Helping a friend out. Anyone recognize this Coach bag? Most likely an outlet item, but it's been years. All I could think of to search was "coach monogram with red trim" but that gave me a lot of other bags.
It looks like a Coach Bennett satchel. If you google the style number on the creed, you should be able to find the correct name.
 
Wondering about this one. They’re screenshots from an eBay auction that ended a while back… but I’m curious as to the model name and approximate year, since it’s a nifty bag but it looks so different from the other vintage Coach briefcase-tote-ish bags I’ve seen for sale.

Hope I uploaded the pics correctly. Thanks much!

Looks like a Gramercy Brief from around 1991

Hi everyone, I haven't been here for while so I hope I'm doing this right. I was hoping to find info or catelog info If anyone has any on the coach 9185 whitney flap dowel bag. Posted creed and pic of the bag. I don't know much about this style but I do love a flap top handle and vtg coach is one of my favorite bands lately!

Many years ago I posted photos of a red Court 9870 and it was authenticated by @Hyacinth and @DemRam (see links below) but now I have some questions.

It's finally dawned on me that I didn't post photos of the entire strap in the AT thread and the strap is not adjustable. I am used to Court bags that have adjustable straps, did they ever come with non-adjustable straps? I'm trying to figure out if the strap has been replaced but it matches the color of the bag so it seems original.

Also, the xxxx-xxx serial suggests late 1980s or early 1990s to me (correct?) do you know when Coach produced red Court bags like this? Thanks!

ETA: I may have partially answered my own question, thanks to our wonderful library of Coach Catalogs that were provided by @Hyacinth!

This 1990 Fall Catalog page lists a red Court bag with a detachable strap but it doesn't indicate that the strap is adjustable. I measured the strap and it is 44 inches like the catalog, do our resident experts agree that this is probably the same bag? Thanks again!

Court Bags from the early 1990s had 44-inch non-adjustable straps and the serial number format is from the early 1990s so I don't see any problem with the strap. The first year Coach made them with a buckle adjustment was probably 1997.
